A simple search turned up a dozen or more links.)

You’ve fallen for it. There is no such thing as an “executive action.” There are only executive ORDERS or executive MEMORANDUMS. I challenge you or anyone else to find any official Executive Orders from Obama that limited gun rights. The only thing you’ll find is an executive memorandum instructing the government to research smart guns. He issued NO EXECUTIVE ORDERS about guns. His “action” was just a press event. It had no meaning in law and didn’t change any existing regulations or policies. It was just show. The media reported it as if he had done something and for some reason the gun press went along with the charade. The most concrete thing that happened was that the ATF printed a new brochure that spelled out whether a seller was supposed to have a license or not. The brochure did not reflect a change in law but merely a restatement of current law.

Looks like the obie admin conned us again.

Well, if nothing else, this clarifies the entire matter as being shut down and put to bed. Now on to other EO’s that actually did happen and weren’t a smoke screen eh.
